In September'37, Air Canada commenced with the name of Trans-Canada Airlines. The first 50 minute flight was on a Lockheed L-10A. It flew from Vancouver to Seattle, carrying some mail and only two people. The airline became popular very soon and Trans-Canada Airlines became Canada's national airline, by the year'64. Around the same time, it was renamed as Air Canada. In the year'89, Air Canada was privatized. Around the same time, the airlines also took over the Canadian Airlines International.

Air Canada is 70 years old today and is Canada's largest passenger service airline. It transports about 32 million passengers annually to 170 destinations across the five continents. The airline also ranks number-- amongst the airlines across the globe.

Air Canada believes that travel should be convenient for its customers and therefore it is the only airline that offer flight passes. Flight passes allow the passenger to manage their travel online. These flight passes can be obtained either in the form of pre-purchased flight credits or a monthly subscription that provides you with unlimited flights in certain sectors.

Air Canada has been ranked as one of the world's best airlines, and this is based on the feedback provided by the passengers of Air Canada. According to a survey that was conducted, from August 2006 and June 2007, the airlines received the 'Best Airline in North America' title. It also received the 'Airline Industry Achievement Award', in the year 2007 for achieving the position of a market leader. The airline already won several titles like 'Best Airline in Canada and North America', judged by the readers of different travel magazines.

Along with keeping their customers happy and satisfied, Air Canada also works hard to do their part in keeping the environment preserved. The airline has already been spending billions on this process. It is also investing in new aircrafts, which are energy efficient. Air Canada has also brought reduction by 28%, in the emission amount of their flights. By 2020, they also aspire to improve their fuel efficiency, by 25%.

Air Canada also has initiated various green in-house and recycling programs. They have joined hands with a fascinating program, known as 'zerofootprint'. This program lets the customers to willingly counterbalance the carbon emissions caused due to the flights they have taken, by taking part in the reforestation program in the nation.

Although Air Canada is one of the world's largest airlines, it still needs the help of other airlines to provide its passengers with a suitably extensive network of destinations.
